What is a Narcissist and how to survive a relationship with one

Image
  What is a Narcissist? Narcissists can inherit their toxic behaviour due to childhood trauma, negative parenting styles( ranging from feeling rejected or neglected to being over spoilt as a child ), cultural influences or genetics . Narcissists are easily recognised once you are aware of the signs which include an over exaggerated sense of self importance , an inflated ego, obsession with power and success, a need for constant admiration, lack of empathy , envy of other people's achievements, entitled and arrogant and unrealistically high expectations of others. Looking at this list you may be thinking why would I be attracted to a person like this,but this is where the Narcissist really excels, due to their innate ability to wear a mask and portray to the outside world a very different picture of who they actually are .

  How can travelling help to increase self love and self esteem? My love affair with travel started when I was only 18 years old and I passed my driving test on my first attempt, I remember telling my mum I was going for a little drive and ended up in Scotland! I then went to work as an Aupair for a year in the US that was the plan anyway, my family knew I wanted to travel and thought I'd go and 'get it out of my system' but that year turned out to be the best year of my life and within me it was as if a light had turned on and hence my passion and obsession with travelling began. To date I've been travelling on and off between work now for as long as I've been qualified as a massage therapist (35 years) and in that time I've visited over 70 countries and intend to visit many more in the future. So what does this have to do with self love? Travelling for me is not just my passion but its my peace and my joy. I have such a busy life in London that it can be hard ...

  What is the inner child and why is it so relevant? Every one of us has an inner child within us, it is the part of our subconscious and emotional state that has been influenced by emotions, memories and beliefs from the past in addition to our hopes, desires and dreams for the future. It is essential to connect with the inner child who resides inside our adult bodies to attain a true representation as to how we are really feeling within. This is particularly relevant when we explore self esteem because the inner child experiences negative in addition to positive experiences and from those memories a blue print is formed which will affect how we connect within our selves as adults. So how can you learn to connect with your inner child? Our inner child is always with us, we just need to be willing to connect deeply within, as adults we are taught to be responsible and with that responsibility come commitments which cause concern and place mental and emotional Stress within our adul...
